Yugi is a nerdy boy with a love for all games. His grandfather gives him a very special puzzle one day, and when Yugi finishes it, the spirit of an ancient pharaoh is released from the relic and possesses Yugi's body. The pharaoh has no memory of what happened to him or why he was trapped in the puzzle, but now he protects Yugi and his friends. They agree to help the pharaoh discover the story behind his imprisonment in the puzzle, so that he can stop living in Yugi's body, but these schoolkids will have adventures of epic proportions before that happens.
